The biggest way I have changed this year is that before... I didn't know effective strategies for teaching all learners. And now... I do!
Looking forward ... my work and profession predicitons are... working in Jewish day schools for 5-10 years, and then moving into educational publishing.
My family predictions are...
0-2 years: cohabitating with my non-spouse significant other
2-4 years: cohabitating with my spouse
4-24 years: cohabitating with my spouse and children
Description of where I might be living and why?
California, San Francisco, Sunset District in a somewhat quiet neighboorhood with a view of the Pacific Ocean, because the people there are more "loose and crunchy"
Ben Franklin once said: "It is easier to prevent bad habits than to break them."
This is wide advice to future DeLeT cohorts. Learn well now about the practices you will use in the classroom so that you won't have to break bad teaching habits. This can also be applied in the classroom with students: it is far easier to set up classroom practices and behaviors in the beginning of the school year to be the class you want it to be. Remember: you can always start out strict and a stickler for rules and good behavior and ease up later than to start out soft and crack down after bad habits are formed.
I haven't yet come up with a proverb of my own for DeLeT.
- biking to Brandeis in the summers
- the strong collegual support
- the sense of community I felt in the dayschool
